This is a ski mountaineering camp; Which means (if we have conditions) We will be climbing up couloirs (35 to 45+ degrees) en-route to the perfect 600 meter run. This is an advanced ski mountaineering trip, therefore everyone needs to be comfortable skinning, boot packing and skiing all alpine terrain up to 45+ degrees. Depending on the trips we may climb ridges to our ski line.

The camp will be situated at Applebee Dome at 2480 meters at the base of Snowpatch and Bugaboo Spire.

Package Includes: 

• Helicopter flight (return)from the staging area
• All equipment to set up base camp
• All food prepared and cooked by Chef Kelly (Backcountry Bistro)
• Guiding by an ACMG ski Guide and a ACMG/IFMGA Mountain Guide 

Transportation and Meeting Place: 

Our group will be meeting in Golden at the hanger the morning of departure. At that time, we will go over the equipment check list and you will be required to sign the ACMG waiver, a copy of which will be sent to you prior to the start of the trip.
